Default HELP... What Cam with my setup???

I have been reading for months on this and am still not sure what to get. I definately know I want a mid size cam though. Here is my setup so far...

2002 WS6
SLP Lid/Bellows/Cold/Free Ram Air
Port & Polished TB
LS6 Intake
Pacesetter Headers (no cats)
H-pipe True Duals
3000 TCI Stall
Port & Polished Stock Heads

It is my daily driver and I would like the car to pull throughout the powerband. It will not see the track much, if ever (for now anyway).

Thanks in advance!

the TR series cam's are nice, the TR224 is a proven winner. But if you want something a tad bigger perhaps a 228/230? From what ive read the 228/230 size cams are good for Daily drivers. Im putting a TR224 112lsa cam in mine. Keep in mind you will need new valvesprings with the cam. Ive heard comp cams 918s are decent but you must replace them every 25,000. Im going to run Patriot dual golds so they will last much longer.

The 228/230 is actually what I was thinking too. What about the duration, lift, & LSA? What brand? And what brand lasts the longest? ...I didn't realize they had a life expectancy???
